“I’m not going to last if you do that, babe. I want to pleasure you.”
She watched him as he moved lower. He slipped one leg between hers.
“Spread your legs, hon.”
She did as he asked and he moved his other leg to join the first one. His hips nestled within her thighs. As he lapped at the moisture in the creases where her thighs met her pussy, she followed his actions. Every tickling sensation intensified her need. He parted her folds and licked her clit, tormenting the nub with the tip of his warm tongue.
Her thigh muscles clenched. She inhaled deeply and tilted her hips, undulating beneath his mouth. She wanted to spread her legs to open herself more completely to him. He rubbed a long finger across her dripping opening, spreading her fluids lower to her little hole. Once again he pleasured her there. “Derek….”
“ Does that feel good?”
“Yes,” she whispered, desperate.
He smoothed his fingers along her crack and returned to her anus. “Raise your knees.”
Eager for more intense pleasure, she raised her knees and moaned as he continued to circle and press against her tight hole.
“Spread your legs more, hon.”
She did as he asked, and he lowered his head and speared his tongue into her pussy.
“Oh, God. Please, Derek, I can’t take much more.” But he didn’t stop. He didn’t release her. His tongue moved in and out of her opening, pushing her higher while his fingers never stopped caressing her. Her pussy was swollen and aching from his taunting tongue and fingers. “Derek, I’m going to come!”
He drew away from her and grabbed a condom from the night table. Rolling it on, he lowered himself between her legs, positioned the head of his hard cock at her slick opening, and pushed slowly inside her.
She tilted her hips to take more of him, spreading her thighs wider until his balls rubbed snug against her bottom. She wrapped her arms around him, and her fingers pressed into his muscles.
He pulled out of her pussy and plunged back in all the way. Closing his mouth over her breast, he gently squeezed the nipple.
“Derek!” She bucked and her back bowed. Her body shivered as her climax rocked her. Her pussy milked his surging cock. Her sensitized little hole added to her orgasm, her flesh aching and swollen with pleasure from his stroking. Slowly, the contractions eased. “Oh, my. I’ve never felt anything like that before.”
He raised his head from her breast. “Was it good for you, babe?”
“It was way more than good. That was amazing.”
“It can be better than what you felt this time. I can give you even more pleasure if you want.”
“How could it be better than that?”
“It can be more intense with anal sex. But only if you’re willing. I won’t do anything that makes you uncomfortable. Think about it. For now, we need to sleep.” He trailed his fingers up and down her arm.
“Will you give me a ride back to Darlene’s in the morning? I need to explain to her about why I’m leaving her home.”
“Sure. Sounds like a good idea. I need to check in with Juan and see what needs to be done about the Hawks still on the loose. Afterwards, I’ll come pick you up. I don’t want your brothers to follow you. It won’t help you if they find you here in Mike’s house.” He gathered her in his arms and she rested her head on his chest.
Chapter Four
“Are you sure you’ll be safe with Derek?” Darlene frowned at Kelly.
“Thank you for being concerned.” Kelly smiled at Darlene. “I’m confident I’ll be safe with him. I just need to avoid my brothers at all cost. I don’t want them to drag me home.”
Kelly heard the doorbell ring.
“I’ll be back in a minute. Stay right here. I want to know more about your brothers and their friends, and why you don’t want to go home.” Darlene gave her a look.
Darlene left the bedroom where Kelly had gone to gather her few pieces of clothing. She’d need to return the change of clothing to Darlene eventually when she had the money to buy new clothes.
The sound of Darlene’s irate voice came to her from the front door. What was going on? She’d better see if Darlene needed help.
As she neared the front entrance, she heard the voice of her oldest brother, Beau, joined by the sound of a voice she’d hoped never to hear again. Rafe Wolfgang.
“We’re looking for Kelly Wolford,” her brother said.
She couldn’t join Darlene to back her up. They must not know yet that she and Darlene were visiting today. She had to keep them from finding out so they wouldn’t have a chance to follow her and Derek to Mike’s house.
“I don’t know who you are or why you’re asking, but no one by the name of Kelly Wolford has ever been here, and if she had it would be none of your business.” Darlene’s voice rose in anger. “Goodbye.”
Kelly hoped the guys would leave before Derek arrived to pick her up. The good thing was that Darlene would now have a good idea why Kelly was avoiding her brothers and family friends.
She hoped Darlene didn’t provoke their tempers.
It sounded like her brothers definitely expected to find her at Darlene’s, and they were really aggravated, especially Rafe, that Darlene put them off.
“We know she’s been here,” Rafe said. “We’ve seen her here before.” He sounded furious.
“You have no business talking to anyone in that tone of voice,” Darlene said, her tone sharp. “Now leave, all of you, or I’ll call the police.”
Kelly heard the loud engine of a car race up the street. Tires screeched as it suddenly slowed in front of Darlene’s home.
“Come on, Rafe,” her brother said.
“And if I see any of you around this area again, I’ll call the police,” Darlene warned. The door closed with a
bang
.
The sound of the sedan racing up to the end of the street reminded Kelly of the murderous Hawks’ gang. She’d hoped they’d disappeared.
She waited for her friend in the bedroom.
Darlene joined her there. “I can’t believe the nerve of those guys. They wouldn’t take no for an answer, especially that guy they called Rafe. But I finally convinced them they wouldn’t get anywhere with me. I’m assuming the guy doing the most talking when I opened the door was one of your brothers.”
“Yeah, he’s my oldest brother.”
“The one they called Rafe acted like his word was law. He acted like an over-the-top alpha male. Just the kind of man I can’t abide.”
“Yeah, that would be my brother’s friend.”
“I don’t blame you in the least for not wanting to go home, or anywhere, with those overbearing guys. So, is your last name Wolford?”
“Yes. I’m Kelly Wolford. I used the name Smith to hide from them.”
“What on earth happened to you that sent you running from your family?”
“Nothing, so far.” When Darlene raised her eyebrows in question, Kelly explained. “My family is determined that I marry Rafe, and I don’t want to. I’m not in love with him. I want to marry someone I love and care for deeply.”
“Why would your family be so determined? Is it about money?”
“Sort of. Rafe’s family’s ranch and my family’s ranch are next door in central Texas. Our families have been close for generations.” Kelly wasn’t sure how much she should tell Darlene about her situation.
“Well, you can always count on my support on that issue. My parents wanted me to marry a man who was their choice of rich businessmen.”
“Did you marry him?”
“No. I was not in love with him. I have a trust fund that affords me to live on my own. I don’t plan to marry until I find a man who loves me as much as I love him.”
Kelly smiled and nodded in agreement.
“Life is complicated enough,” Darlene continued, “when you don’t have a man beside you who loves and respects you. How much harder it would be with a man who didn’t care about anything but money. Or only cared about what
he
wanted.”
“That’s what I tried to get my parents to understand. But they’re stuck in their old ways. When they wouldn’t listen to me, I left home. That was two years ago. Now my brothers have found me. I’m going to hide out at Derek’s friend’s house until my brothers and Rafe and his brothers give up looking for me. Derek assured me it was fine with his friend. I can’t stay here with you since my brothers suspect I’ve been here.” Kelly hugged her new friend. “Thanks for everything, Darlene. You’re the best.”
“You know you’re always welcome here.”
The doorbell rang.
Darlene hurried to the door. “If that’s your brother and his friends again—”
Kelly followed. “It may be Derek.”
Darlene looked through the glass on either side of the door. “Looks like Derek,” she said brightly.
“Come in.” Darlene held the door open for him.
“My brothers were just here asking Darlene about me.”
“Hell,” Derek swore.
“They don’t like taking no for an answer,” Darlene explained. “And their friend, Rafe, is an asshole.”
Derek took this in and looked at Kelly.
She nodded in agreement with Darlene. “How will we keep them from following us to Mike’s house?”
“We’ll lose them somewhere along the way. I know this town and the streets better than they do. Did you notice what kind of car they were driving?”
Kelly looked at Darlene and shook her head.
“That’s all right,” Derek said. “I’ll know if we’re being followed. Are you ready to head out?”
“Yes,” Kelly said. “I’ll go grab my stuff.”
After gathering her bundle and hugging Darlene goodbye, she hurried to Derek’s car in the driveway. He opened the door and went around and got in the driver’s side.
“Buckle up, hon. This could turn into a wild ride.”
She glanced at his serious face and grabbed for her seat belt, snapping it securely.
As soon as Derek drove out of Darlene’s neighborhood, a big black extended-cab pickup truck pulled into the lane behind him.
“Don’t look, but I think your brothers are right behind us. Do they drive a black pickup?”
“Yes, sometimes. It’s the model with the extended cab.”
“That’s probably it. I’ll head down the hill and try to lose them.”
Derek headed for the main street and higher speed limits. He managed to stay well ahead of Kelly’s brothers, but he couldn’t lose them. He turned off toward Crazy Cat Mountain and got a break when oncoming traffic held up the pickup. Leaving the main road behind, he cut through the narrower neighborhood streets.
“Hold on.” He turned back and forth through shorter blocks of homes and made it harder for the brothers to find them.
“I think we’ve lost them. Just to be sure, I’m heading down the road to the arroyo. We can hide out in the high brush on one of the turnouts off that narrow road. It’s near the Desert Edge Tennis Club, but the people there won’t care much what we’re doing if they see us. From there we can watch the road above that leads to Crazy Cat for any sign of their truck.”
“Whatever you think is best,” Kelly agreed. “I’m sure you know how to lose them.” She smiled at him.
A warm feeling filled Derek at her words. She trusted him. That would work in their favor in his efforts to protect her.
